Brunelleschi changed more than a skyline. He changed what Florence believed engineering could do.

Why the Dome Was Radical

Massive scale under severe constraints.
Structural intelligence instead of brute method.
Civic symbolism embedded in technical achievement.

Reading Lenses

Lens	What to notice
Technical	Constraints and solutions
Political	Public prestige logic
Cultural	Design as humanist confidence

Route Skeleton

Architectural context start.
Museum evidence of design thinking.
Panorama stop for spatial synthesis.

Bottom line

Use the pass to track ideas in stone, not only entries on a list.
